Firebox cleaning, damper repair, and gas media service for wood and gas fireplaces alike.
The fireplace itself needs its own maintenance separate from the chimney above it. Fireboxes accumulate soot and ash, dampers stick or fail to seal, and glass doors get grimy and worn over time. We handle all of it, usually in the same visit as a chimney sweep.
Gas fireplaces need different attention than wood-burning ones: less soot, but more mechanical upkeep around burners, gas media, and venting. We service both, and we’ll tell you honestly which maintenance actually matters for your setup.
Ash and soot are removed from the firebox and surrounding surfaces.
Damper, glass doors, gaskets, and (for gas units) burners and media are checked.
Any stuck dampers, worn seals, or gas media issues are addressed on the spot when possible.
We confirm the fireplace operates and seals correctly before finishing up.
Wood-burning fireplace cleaning is usually priced together with a chimney sweep. Gas fireplace service pricing depends more on the complexity of the burner and media system than on cleaning time.
Gas fireplaces are maintenance-free.
FactThey don’t produce creosote, but burners, gas media, and venting components still need periodic checks to run safely.
A damper that closes is a damper that seals.
FactA warped or misaligned damper can close without actually sealing, which wastes heat and lets in drafts.
Yes — even without creosote buildup, burners, gas media, and venting components need periodic inspection to run safely and efficiently.
Usually — a stuck or misaligned damper is often a straightforward repair, though a warped damper plate may need replacement.
Yes, most homeowners combine the two in a single appointment.
